Is there a way to turn off stability control?
Click to expand… Brakes are not used for TC. If your ABS is kicking in, it is stability control. Anyway you could turn it off-off through hptuners? Click to expand… Traction control (TC) uses spark retard, fuel cutoff, and electronic throttle control (ETC) to control traction.
Is there a way to disable traction control?
Traction control (TC) uses spark retard, fuel cutoff, and electronic throttle control (ETC) to control traction. You can disable any or all of these to eliminate TC or just smooth its engagement. I disabled the ETC and fuel cutoff and now my truck doesn’t fall on its face when TC kicks in. Works “just enough” now.
What’s the best way to defeat StabiliTrak / stability control?
Well if all the issues are the abs run a switch in place of the fuse so that it completes the circuit with the proper fuse only when the switch is on and mount it somewhere under the dash. Then you could flip it on and off as you please. Click to expand… I get that.
How does stability control work in the snow?
When you spin the tires on the snow, the rear end steps out. As soon as that happens the Stability System applies brakes to correct. The two work hand in hand. All good for normal driving. However, overly intrusive in the snow for someone who knows what they are doing.
Last but certainly not least, we have the Disengagers Of The Stability Control. These fellows will surreptitiously turn off ESC/DSC/whatever the maker calls it before I get in the car with them. More than three-quarters of my absolute first-timer students do it.
Is there such a thing as overactive stability control?
It’s true that some of the very early traction and stability controls, like the ASC+T fitted to Nineties Bimmers, can be a bit overactive and kludgy. They’re the exception, however, and most modern cars are very smart when it comes to keeping the car on the straight and narrow.

What happens when you touch the stability control button?
At that point, the hard work of all the development engineers at the car’s manufacturer comes into play, the computer sorts things out, the car exits the turn slow but straight, and the person behind the wheel starts griping about “understeer”—little knowing how close he came to cashing both of our checks through sheer idiocy.
